Flooding
editDuring the 2010–2011 Queensland floods, Moggill Road flooded in a number of places, including:
- around the intersections with Market Street and Witton Road, Chapel Hill[2]
- around Pullen Pullen Creek at Pinjarra Hills and Bellowrie[3]
The flooding causes the suburbs of Bellbowrie, Moggill and Karana Downs to be cut off, leading to shortages of food and medical supplies.[4]
Upgrade
editIntersection upgrade
